Cat/Bear Druids, Warriors, and Enhancement Shamans ALWAYS want +Str gems over the "corresponding" +AP Gems, since the Strength will scale with Blessing of Kings, and the straight AP won't. They get the same AP, and this isn't Unique-Equipped.

Mark of the Wild..?

Comment by Sanctadin

You could also include retribution specialized paladins in the list of people that would want this gem for the strength -> attack power scaling.

Comment by helmers

Mark of the Wild does not scale anything, it is just a stat increase. Warriors "Vitality" and paladins have "Divine strength" for a 10% strength increase. However, the warrior talent is for protection warriors only, which means that out of all classes, retribution paladins are the ones who will benefit the most from this gem.

With 5/5 Improved Berserker Stance on a Fury warrior, 5/5 Unleashed Rage on an Enhancement Shaman, or 5/5 Heart of the Wild on a Feral Combat druid, the 10% bonus to AP will scale them just as much as Paladin Divine Strength.

Comment by flamewing

He also noted Blessing of Kings which will scale with Strength vs. Attack Power. You are correct on Mark of the Wild being a static buff to stats.

It's changed now to be +10% ap instead of +20% strength (while in cat-form, the other boní remain the same, at the time of this post

You could, but Ret is useless anyways so what's the point?

Comment by ilithid

as paladins, warriors, shamans and druids gain 2 AP for 1 strength, when you reach 1100 strength you will gain same AP from blessing of kings and blessing of might. anyway, even with less strength i would love blessing of kings as it increases ALL stats, not only strength :)btw. is it possible to get 1100 STR?

TheCrush, counts on class

Comment by Mookosh

This and the other epic TBC gems now scale to 90 and give the same stats as the Rare quality MoP cuts

Perfect to have socketed in Timewalking gear. Tear up those old dungeons as you hunt for your Infinite Timereaver.
